A color diffusion transfer photographic element comprised of a light-sensitive dye release and receiving sheet and a cover sheet, wherein development, dye release and dye transfer occur in the presence of an alkaline processing solution, and wherein the cover sheet is provided with a neutralizing system which causes neutralization by an alkaline processing solution to proceed by at least a first and second stage, wherein the first stage is characterized in that neutralization (lowering) of the pH of an alkaline processing solution occurs to the extent to interrupt development and dye release reactions but at which the transfer of a dye for forming a transfer image can continue, and a second stage at which the pH of the processing solution is gradually lowered to a final value which is stably maintained over prolonged storage, the photographic element characterized in that the neutralizing system comprises at least a neutralizing layer, a second neutralization timing layer, an auxiliary neutralizing layer, and a first neutralization timing layer as viewed from the support side, and that said auxiliary neutralizing layer contains 10 to 100% by weight of a polymer containing as a constituent a monomer unit represented by the general formula: <IMAGE> wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or substituted or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; X represents a hydrogen atom or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, hydroxy group or cyano group, or halogen atom; Y represents a monomer unit obtained by copolymerization of at least one monomer selected from copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, acid anhydride, half ester of acid anhydride, and salts thereof; and a represents a mole percentage of 30 to 70%.
